Often, we find ourselves in this imagined state of a post racial society. But then, we come across a news article, a video or a friend's account of someone calling them a racial slur. In our class, we are learning about the Holocaust as we read the story, Boy in the Striped Pajamas. We will be answer two major questions. How could the Holocaust happen? Could something like the Holocaust ever happen again? Our culminating project for this unit will be to design and publish a magazine or newspaper that is devoted to answering one of these questions. Your newspaper/magazine must have the following components:
Theme (You can use a quote from videos we watch or anything we read to develop the theme of your project)
A combination of 6 Articles/Poems/Fiction/Book Review/Movie Review
6 Photographs
2 Advertisements
As the editor of your newspaper/magazine, the only thing you will write in your project is the Editor's note. You will take submissions of writing from your classmates and you will have to submit writing to your classmates' magazines/newspapers.
Lets begin on the journey of discovering the answers to our questions by watching the below videos.
